Blog comments Your Say

  • hello Greg, great to hear you.The article on Aboriginal school attendance was great, I like and respect Noel Pearson. But using Coen was not a logical statistic, it is not an Aboriginal Community I worked for telstra in Weipa for 2.5 years and visited Aurukun at least 2 days a week. It was an eye opener, we must have a coffee over it!! i will be back in Beachmere from my summer in France in a fortnight, 4bc on line is my sanity

    regards

    Noel
